It ok, with standard at lenght truppets can just get the filter on and off, but any longer will struggle to get a filter.

Dont think it was Johns fault tbh. He sent a head to them and they designed it to give optimum performance to the valve. It was a slight oversight to not have engine bay specs but then its an issue im sure no one saw happening. Not easy when johns in scotland and they are based near Norwich iirc.
Its a shame Johns not selling the old kit anymore ok some forums slated it but overall i think it wasnt a bad solution for performance and decent noise levels.

Think i could be in trouble, mine seems so so loud!

its different for racing days.
+ places like bedford wouldnt host F1.
The reason its so tight there is the Db meters are linked to the council I have been lead to believe so they cant just let things go

Yer I had no problem too, but would suggest if you have a straight though get s middle box, will bring the exhaust noise down.
